This soundbar is great and sonos crushed it with the way they integrate all of the apps into one simple easy to use SONOS app.

Comparison between TV speakers, and the Beam Gen2 is noticeable for my aging ears. I can hear vocal dialogue that I had to struggle with. Set up with fairly easy. . All in all set up with fairly easy. Just followed the instructions on my iPhone.

Worth the money. Greatly improved sound that’s more than enough for my home game room. When tested it achieved 77-78 decibels. Will definitely be adding the sub in the future.

Although the sound quality is good even with fake Atmos, Sonos will not support the product if they brick it with a software update.
I had the Beam Gen 2 for about 2 years and generally enjoyed it. However, one day I noticed the sound went back to TV output and the Sonos Beam was flashing a white light. This was due to a failed firmware update issued by Sonos. Standard procedure of connecting by ethernet and trying the factory reset (this does not actually factory reset) did not work. Even though this was Sonos' fault, they would only offer a small discount to buy a new unit and would not fix or replace the existing unit. I was a fan of Sonos, but will no longer buy or recommend their products with poor support and this year's bad app experience.
